Tragic and beautiful and hopeful.

The pacing of this tale was perfect. Even with Elliott’s ability to say exactly how he feels at any moment (we can’t help but stan), there was no rush with this romance. Eleven years has passed, so what’s one more day? This tale felt realistic even in its tragedy and overwhelming coincidences.

I devoured Love & Other Words in five hours. Stunning.

The spicy scenes with them as teenagers was just a bit odd and felt uncomfortable, especially when Macy was 3/4 months away from turning 18. Like how hard would it be to just wait a little bit in the storyline? Ruined the book for me personally, also just not a fan of main characters being separated for a long time- especially 11 years :(

This book ripped my heart out, dipped it in acid, lit it on fire, and then sewed it back together. A goddamn rollercoaster. It’s the heaviest love story I’ve read. The love that Macy and Elliot shared with each other for years and years was so tender and pure that reading about it almost felt like intruding on something very private. My heart ached for Macy so badly. The torch Elliot had been holding for her all those years made me believe in young love. This book is so much more than a fluffy little romance. It changed my relationship with books. Nothing I read the rest of the year came close to what this made me feel.

I read Every Summer After before this and I will admit they are like reading the same book, but this one was much better. I didn't like the conflict in this but I especially didn't like how they glazed over it with more trauma.

Really enjoyed this though!
